ok man if thats like that so im all ready understand that and im play good the scale..im thing that is important to put the fingers in right place..im was try to find the answer on GMC chat today but this guys tell me thats no mather what kind of finger u use..but im dont belive them becouse thats exercising like set kris have also to memorize what kind of finger have to go or every each note

im try to learn this like ..im have to!

but anyway im lost again for me like totaly beginer is to speedy when kris show the other C-major scale

if thats not importatnt where the fingers have to go ..so im wrong and make spam here nad im sorry for that

If it helps Besip I usually work on the idea for left hand fingering of 1 finger 1 fret (ignoring stretches) for this sort of pattern. So in this example 5th fret = Index, 6th= middle, 7= ring, 8th=pinky.

im think u made me understat that so im so glad

i'v been lost becouse kris start on fret 8 with midle finger...but if im understat finaly that..he start with midle finger becouse in 7 fret is unplay 1 more note and the note shoot be play with index

if im right thats so easi and im realy thanks

so if im right with that..im have finaly question..kris start play on Root note C thats way he start with midlleso it;s there some rules when im play SCALE..do im have usualy start play on root note?..or that video is just explanation and im can start also o 7 fret and continue?

1 more time thank for make me understant if im right..im never learning english at scholl so im will be lost with teory and every help from u is good

Fingering is, at times, down to personal preferences and some people don't use their pinky at all - only index, ring and third. Not sure if this is what Kris is doing here without seeing the video (sorry Kris if your using 4 fingers). But as a personal preference for me as the pattern doesn't move from 5th position I'd finger it as I suggested. But many players won't use their pinky and they have to then play a four note static pattern using 3 fingers . On the board you'll find a lot of people (including me) who advocate/promote the whole idea of using you pinky as much as your other three fingers for fretting notes. Personal opinion - if you don't learn to use it you lose 25% of your fretting hand.

If the pattern wasn't static (meaning if you had to make a position change) then you might choose to play part of the pattern with a different fingering just in order to get your left hand ready for the next line/lick. Part of the thing with fingering/fretting is looking/thinking ahead as to where your hand should be for the lay off.

im probbalyy understad that why kdis start with midle finger and no with the index thats becouse he start on root note C on 8 fret but the scale has already 1 note on 7 fret so thats the system -1-2-3-4 what u talking about before and that is most easy way

like im set im thing im allready understad that..im hope kris

im just not sure why kris start on 8 fret and no on 7 fret???? it's there some rules to start on root note???

Hi besip, you might want to look at Andrew's theory classes as to why a scale starts on the root and his classes on modes as to what happens if you start on a different degree.

Cheers,Tony

im can try but im afraid thats be to hard for me wih my english

im not sure if thats right but my friend tell me there is not a rule t start on root note{in case E-major/inoian scale} and kris start just there becouse no reson..and there is aslo 1 note o E string 7 fret unplay becouse they finaly want to show to whole box

im not sure if thats right but my friend tell me there is not a rule t start on root note{in case E-major/inoian scale} and kris start just there becouse no reson..and there is aslo 1 note o E string 7 fret unplay becouse they finaly want to show to whole box

?

im can try andrew but im not sure i be understand the theory as well

Starting on the root note for practicing is important because it trains your ear to the sound of the scale. If you don;t do this you may end up getting confused between scales and their modes. When playing of course there is no such guideline, you can use any note form any box in the scale at any time as long as it sounds good to you.

And yes, read my introduction to scales lesson - at least give it a go, and if you have questions of course we will answer, but us writing an explanation in the forum is just the same as you reading it in a theory lesson isn't it?
